JD hitch control

[Flat 10]

On the slug, the grey wheel that sets the depth won’t lock and it makes using the hitch “interesting” I can get it to work for a bit then it all goes Pete tong again. Can’t work out why and can’t get inside it. I expect a new one is ££££££? Any ideas @Phil P @Timbo @Tractortech ?

You can get all the bits separate, there’s a little spring that push the wheel up to lock it in place. The spring no13 sometimes brakes and it all goes a bit lose!
You need to remove the nuts off the hight and speed potentiometers, then if I remember right there’s a screw in the side no14 and it splits into two.

I looked at that picture and saw spring 13 and wondered if it was the problem, couldn’t work out how to take it apart though. Thanks for the steer

Well it was quite a fiddle but I got it apart, spring 13 seemed to have got in the wrong place somehow put it back reassembled it and reconnected it all to the tractor to see if it would work without all the faff of reassembling the side console. It did and i'm delighted. Thanks Phil.
